Information Security Forum.

The Information Security Forum's (ISF) 18th Annual World Congress takes place in Cape Town on 9th-11th December, bringing together over 400 senior security professionals from leading companies and organisations around the world to tackle the security challenges they will face in 2008 and beyond.

The ISF Congress, recognised as the leading information security conference in the world, provides a unique and confidential environment to share knowledge and experiences, as well as hear from industry experts and gain practical advice on current and emerging information security risks.

This year's event boasts an impressive line up of keynote speakers, dealing with a range of important issues from the growth in organised online crime and cybersecurity to the increasing demands of IT governance and global legislation. Other topics under the spotlight during Break-Out Sessions will include mobile security; security tools and techniques; managing risk; culture, awareness and behaviour; security strategies and outsourcing. These sessions will be led by senior security professionals and ISF researchers focusing on experiences and lessons learned.

In addition, its latest Standard of Good Practice for Information Security has recently been published and is available free to non-members at www.isfstandard.com.
